For the second day in a row I ended up at Ais Gill MP260 for the Colas hauled logs. This is one of my preferred compositions at this spot as it creates a powerful study of loco and train. It works best when the cab just breaks the line of Wild Boar Fell's shoulder. Having never got this specific composition at this location with a 70 I decided to give it a go today. Following a loco change overnight 70813 lifts the ever attractive 6J37 Carlisle - Chrik diagram past MP260 on the approach to Ais Gill summit.
